I don't man, I don't consider them punk punk but pop punk, but still doesn't change your statement.
I'm still surprised punk hasn't made a come back. We are dying of old age and this is the right environment for punk to flourish.
Not punk but industrial. Though KMFDM has always been political. But there's a few tracks on the new album that are far less subtle than usual.
Also forgot to point out that punk was a product of its time. And it's environment. Very much a DIY ethic. Which lent to its sound. DIY today is going to sound a lot different. Unless people are going to ape the sound without any of the influence.
Even many of the iconic punkers got tired of it and moved on when new things became available. As mentioned John Lyden AKA Johnny rotten. Left the pistols for Public Image limited. Last I heard Jell-O was still trying to get into California politics?
Plus Lydon is a Right-Winger now.
